OK, I didn't think I did particularly well on Lightning, so I rewrote it. Disclaimer is the same, I own nothing.
Summer 1985, Wiltshire
Draco Malfoy, at the young age of five, had only one major fear; thunderstorms. Being summer, storms were rather common, and shortly after midnight a rather nasty one blew in. Lighting lit up the whole sky making other buildings in the distance appear blue. Thunder created explosion-like sounds all around the house, shaking the old window panes. Draco pulled the covers up over his head and held his teddy bear close (I can just picture him having a teddy bear at that age). After a particularly loud boom of thunder, Draco leapt out of bed and ran down the hall to his father's room.
Lucius was sitting in bed reading. Although the storm did not frighten him, the thunder was making it absolutely impossible to sleep. Lucius was the only one who knew about Draco's fear of thunderstorms, and after he heard a rather loud boom of thunder, he closed his novel and waited. About ten seconds later, Draco burst into the room and jumped up onto his father's bed, throwing his arms around Lucius's neck.
Lucius wrapped his arms around Draco, as Draco climbed into his father's lap. "It's ok, Draco, the storm isn't gonna hurt you." Lucius said, rubbing his hand in a circle on Draco's back, helping to calm the boy down. Draco nodded and pulled away from his father from a moment to grab the teddy bear which was on the bed about a foot away from them, before cuddling back up to his father. They sat there for a few minutes before Lucius spoke. "I have an idea, it might help you with your fear, Draco." He said standing up and pulling Draco up into his arms.
"Where are we going, Daddy?" Draco asked as he put his legs around his father's middle and one arm around Lucius' neck, the other still holding his teddy tight.
"Downstairs, to the sunroom." Lucius said, carrying Draco out of the bedroom. Draco buried his face in his father's shoulder as soon as they left the room. For some reason, the only place Draco felt safe in storms, was with Lucius in Lucius' bedroom. They walked downstairs and into the sunroom.
Lucius sat down on one of the plush couches Narcissa had insisted they buy. Draco was in his father's lap, still clutching his teddy and refusing to look up.
"Draco…look up, I promise it won't be scary, I'm right here." He said softly. Draco looked out the many windows. Seeing the lighting this time was different. It wasn't scary; it was beautiful, almost creating art in the sky. The thunder was still a little frightening, but after a while, that wasn't scary either.
By three in the morning, the thunder and lightning were gone and there was only soft rain. Too exhausted to go back upstairs, Lucius conjured a blanket and wrapped it around himself and Draco who was half asleep in his lap, still holding on to the teddy bear.
"M'not scared anymore." Draco said sleepily "Thanks Daddy…" Draco said smiling, and then yawning.
Lucius smiled. "Good night, Draco, I love you." He said kissing Draco's forehead softly.
"G'night Daddy, love you too." Draco said softly before falling asleep, his head resting on his father's chest.
So…The End! Do you think I did better on this one? I think I did…Review please!
Also, the idea to re-write it came to me after a thunderstorm a few weeks ago. Our air-condtioning was broken so we had every last window in the house, wide open. At 4am…big thunderstorm starts. After running around the house closing windows, I couldn't get back to sleep and my thoughts drifted to this story, so I decided to re-write it. I didn't get around to actually doing it until now. And it is 3am, so I am going to bed.
